The Times-Dispatch reports on the need for governmental inspection of meat and meat packing plants. While previously companies boasted about their quality control, the publication of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle and governmental investigations ordered by President Roosevelt have shown the truth to this falsehood. Such revelations have hurt the ability of American meat to be sold on the world market, thereby necessitating legislation allowing for government inspection.
